Abba Kyari, the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) facing drug trafficking charges, was released on bail on May 31, 2024.
Kyari had been in detention for 27 months since his arrest in February 2022.
The initial release, however, was not an acquittal. It came after Judge Emeka Nwite granted Kyari a temporary two-week bail on May 22nd to allow him to attend the burial rites of his mother, who passed away earlier in May. Kyari reportedly met his bail conditions and secured his release on May 31.
